Stephanie is a first-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She grew up in Arcadia, California, a suburb located 20 miles northeast of Los Angeles, and graduated from Arcadia High School in 2002. Tiring of the sunny weather in California, Stephanie spent three exciting yet miserable years as an undergraduate at Harvard University. After graduating with a degree in English and American Literature and Language, a citation in Spanish Language, and a reflexive desire to say "Yale sucks" and "Go Sox," she took a year-long hiatus from school to work as a clinical research assistant at Stanford University. Working with pancreatic cancer patients changed her perspective of medicine and instilled in her a passion for the field of oncology. At UCSF, Stephanie is a staff writer at the UCSF newspaper, Synapse, and enjoys watching reality television ("it's like sweet sweet candy that rots your brain"). Other interests/addictions include: clinical research, pearl milk tea, Elizabethan dramas, margaritas, poetry, and the human condition. | ||

Tina Lee is a first year pharmacy student, pharmacy intern, drug information research assistant, and APhA officer.

She became interested in pharmacy after volunteering in a free clinic and doing drug delivery research. Painting ever since she was a child, she contributed artwork to Synapse's supplement Tabula and will be hosting the Tabula Art Show and Poetry competition.

Justine is a first-year pharmacy student at UCSF. She graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in Psychology and Chinese Language and Literature and taught for four years at an elementary school in Monterey Park, California. A passion for learning and for challenges has led her to the field of pharmacy, where she hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of integrative approaches to drug therapy. The beauty of nature has led her to many hiking challenges and provided her with many unforgettable moments. Two of the most difficult hikes she has ever done were the 17.5-mile roundtrip Half Dome day-hike and Angels Landing Trail in Zion National Park. Watching the sunrise above the mountains covered with puffy white clouds in the soft pastel-colored sky at the Great Wall of China was the most amazing experience of her life. She was also lucky enough to swim with a 30-feet long whale shark in Baja, Mexico. Her other hobbies/interests include nature photography, ballroom dancing, gourmet dining, and multiculturalism. | ||
